The Whiskey Trials.

Last week was gala week in the Mayors
Court in Anderson. Warrants were taken
out by the Chief of Police against Messrs.
| F. M. Butler and Ernest FAINT; John
C'Donnell, James O'Donnell aud Reuben
Young; W. Ira brennan and Harry Nc
Grath, and Dennis o Donnell, for retailing
spirituous liquors without a license.
The trials began on last Wednesday morn
ing, the case of the City Council VS.. F. M.
Butler and Ernest FAINT being the first case
heard. Messrs. E. B. Murray and 81. G.
Scudday appeared for the prosecution, and
Messrs. Prince & Vandiver and S. NJ. Pick
ems for the defendants. The defendants
plead not guilty, and demanded jury.
Mayor Tolly stated that under the Charter
he did not think they were entitled to
jury, but that it would be agreeable to him
to be relieved of passing upon the facts,
and as the defendants wanted a jury he
would grant it to them. The following
jury was empanelled to try the case, with
Mr.. J. J. Baker as foreman, and Messrs.
A. p. Hubbard, q. N. Broyles, James Sad
Ter, W. B. Beacham and ]. Boyce Burriss
as the other members of the jury. A large
number of witnesses were sworn, and who
testified to getting spirituous liquors from
Butler or his clerk. but the majority of
them either testified that they were given
to them, or that they had simply taken
them, without knowing whether they were
charged or not. One witness testified to
paying money, and another to leaving
money on the table. The prosecution also
showed that Mr.. Butler had partitioned off
his room so that nothing could be seen
from the street. and that within this parti-
ton was closet in which he kept liquors,
and in which the drinking was generally
done. The defense offered no testimony,
and after argument and clear charge from
his Honor the Mayor, the jury promptly
rendered verdict of guilty. a motion
for new trial and in arrest of judgment
was argued before the Mayor and over
ruled, after which Mr.. Butler and Mr..
FAINT were each sentenced to pay fine of
one hundred dollars, or be imprisoned for
thirty days. They have appealed to the
full Council, and the case set for hearing
on next Tuesday afternoon at three o'clock.
The case against Messrs. John O'Don-
nell, James O'Donnel and Reuben Young,
and the case against Mr.. Dennis O'Donnell
were tried, but no evidence Of any sale OF
spirituous liquors. was made, and the pros
ecution consented to verdict of not guilty
without arguing The cases.
The cases against Messrs. brennan and
McGrath were continued until Friday of
this week.
There is determination on the part of
the citizens of Anderson to enforce the
prohibition law, and it will be found dan
gerous and expensive to the violators of
the laT. The prohibitionists do not desire
to injure any individual, but they intend
to enforce the Law, and if prosecutions in
the City Court do not prove efficient, they
will carry them to the Circuit Court where
more exemplary penalties can and will be
inflicted.

Eureka Items.

Where is Eureka? It is situated in
Broadway Township at Geer's Shops.
What is Eureka? It is, in familiar Ian
guage, the name of school house. 1t is
now about one year old. Last year there
was fine school there under the efficient
management of G. H. Gassaway, who
endeared himself alike both to patrons
and pupils. The school this year is
under the management of Miss Zella
Campbell, who is proving herself faith
full and competent teacher.
The people, the good people Of Eureka
community were not satisfied with the
mere literary training Of their young peo-
pie, aud they, therefore, have large and
interesting sunday-school that meets
every Sunday afternoon. This is the
largest Sunday School in the Township.
The whole community is interested in it,
and contributes its presence, influence
and money for the prosperity of this
school. 1t is pleasantly and efficiently
superintended by Col. l.. E. Campbell.
The second Sunday in Feb. is the an
niversary day of the school. Col. John
G.. Clinkscales has been invited to adj
dress the school on that day at $50. The
Col. has the promise of large and an at
tentive audience.
The young men Of the immediate com.
munity are high-toned and gentlemanly
in bearing.
Two very suspicious characters passed
through this community a few days ago
on their way from the City of Anderson.
The question was, where did they get
their liquor?

Testimonial to the Memory OF the late
VIM. s. LfCOn,

Wm. 81 LSOn,
at meeting of the Board of Elders and
Deacons of the Presbyterian Church in An
derson, held January 1S, 1887, the follow
ing resolutions in testimony of the worth
of the late VIM. S. Ligon were unanimous
ly adopted:
LIST. Resolred, The death of w. s. Ligon,
in the very prime Of his manhood and use
fulness, has thrown an unusual gloom over
the whole community of Anderson, wheth-
er rs an active and philosophical citizen,
or rs the honorable business man, or as the
agreeable and popular gentleman, or as the
true and tried friend, or as husband, broth:
er OF son, we hereby attest our sorrow that
he has gone from US.
End. The Presbyterian Church has sus-
tanned seemingly irreparable loss in the
death of brother, q fellow-member and
a Deacon, who was felt to be strong, con-
sistent and devoted man, q tower ofstrength
in the congregation, one in whom all trust
ed, and on whom, as he grew stronger and
stronger, we all began to lean.
3rd. The Board of Deacons feel no less
sorely afflicted by the departure of a fellow
officer Of great efficiency, OF judicious
counsel, of administrative ability, exact
ness, promptitude and fidelity as Treasu-
rer and of kind and fraternal intercourse
with us as colleague in Office.
4th. The Ruling Elders, some of them
growing hoary with age, deeply deplore the
loss of young man who promised to be
pillar in the Church of the Lord when the
time should come that they should throw
their official mantle upon more active men.
5th. The Sunday School mourns the loss
of an active worker, punctual and faith
full teacher, ready counsellor, genial.
cheerful aud winning man, and one who
lad received the confidence and love of bis
class.
9th. III devout submission to Almighty
God, we sorrowfully surrender our friend
and brother to Him who gave him to U.S.
and who has, in His inscrutable wisdom,
taken him away.
7th. That a blank page of our Minute
Book be ascribed to his. memory; that
copy of these resolutionssb furnish ed to

The Quarterly Meeting at Shiloh on
last Saturday and Sunday was very in
teresting occasion. Saturday being an
inclement day, there was q small turn
out, though Mr.. Dickson, the Presiding
Elder, preached as if the house was full.
Sunday, however, was beautiful day,
and the house was crowded, and Mr..
Dickson preached q most excellent SER
mon, making deep impression npon all
his hearers. With the exception of a few
babies and a few ill-mannered wasps,
there was little confusion. Mr.. Dickson
met many old friends, and made many
new ones. Mr.. Ligon, the pastor of the
Piedmont Circuit, was also in his place.
He seems to be well pleased with his new
field of labor, and the people like him
very much.
The farmers have done but little farm
work yet, but they are getting things
ready for ploughing, and some few have
begun.
"Hard times" is The cry on every hand,
but notwithstanding this, several new
buildings are going up.
Mr. John Ricks has moved into his new
house, and is comfortably fixed.
Mr.. William Huff is building a good,
large house, which will improve his place
very much.
Mr.. Henry Cely, who went to Texas
last Fall, is not satisfied with that coun-
try.
Mr.. Miles Hogan has put up corn
mill near Piedmont We are told that he
has aeen successful ginner, and we ex-
pect he will make good meal for those
who patronize him.
We think it would be good plan for
the County Commissioners to put the peo-
pie to work on the roads, and let them
work off the wire edge that the new road
law has put on them.
Our schools are on boom now. We
have some very good teachers in our
Township at present. We have but two
trustees, but our Commissioner will no
doubt see after that i'll due time. q.

edge extends, although whole families
have been prostrated with them in some
instances.
Work on the side track and depotat this
place has commenced, and will he rapidly
pushed to completion. Lots have been
laid off with broad streets intervening in
regular village style. Plats of the same
will soon be on exhibition, and all per-
sons desiring to purchase lot for store
room or residence in healthy, prosper
Gus section of our County, would do we'll
to examine the same and the advantages
offered by our section as place of trade.
This place is centrally located on high
and gently undulating plain, suited to
the growth of all crops, especially cotton,
Of which large areas are planted by some
of our farmers.
Messrs. Jones and Allen are large plan
ters, and by industry and good manage
ment have been quite successful in their
line. They keep complete record of
their operations during the year, and are
thereby enabled to tell the exact amount
of crops produced by every cropper in
their employ. They worked last year
nine mules and made lib bales of cotton,
averaging over 500 lbs to the bale. In
addition to this, they made 81 bales of
toll cotton by their gin, making 134 bales
in the aggregate, for which they received
$5,sO9.Ss. These gentlemen have 300
acres under cultivation, and also run
gin, thresher and saw mill. Mr.. Allen
gives his whole attention to the farm,
experimenting the planting, cultivation
and harvesting the crops, aud Mr.. Jones
has charge of all the machinery, and is
one of the men who can make it pay.
Several other gentlemen in this section
havo been fully as successful as Mes Sis.
Jones and Allen, though not farming on
so large scale. Among them my be
mentioned: Messrs. B. F. and Drayton
Gentry, who commenced farming after
the war as renters, and now they own
splendid farm and have it well stocked,
and are out of debt. Messrs. J. l.. Her.
ron and D. g. Rampy, also own model
farms. Andrew Robinson, COL, who
lives on rented land end runs q one horse
farm, paid 1000 pounds as rent last year,
and has three bales unsold. He says he
has money on hand and supplies for o
year, and has no need to sell his cotton.
Andy sticks to his work soon and late,
and is seldom seen at public gatherings.
He sets good example for the balance
of his race, which they would do well to
follow.
The early gardeners.in this section have
commenced preparing the ground and
sowing their seed. Every farmer should
SOW and plant largely of all kinds of
vegetables, and make half the support
for himself and family, during the sum-
mer months, in the garden. OMEGA.
